Lesson 37: Being Called to Ministry
Lesson 37: Being Called to Ministry
Hi AY Family,
I always prayed that the Lord would help me to be a blessing to someone, but I had never put it into practice because I did not see any opportunities at the time to do so.
However, on the morning of Sabbath, June 18, 2022, my family and I had family worship. We all prayed but while I was praying, I was crying because, at that point, my heart was really breaking for people who were feeling sad and going through difficult times.
I had never cried while praying before knowing I am a person who would usually pray repetitive or short prayers.
However, with this prayer, it really moved me to tears, especially because I know that there are a lot of people who are hurting and going through difficult times.
On top of this, I said that I wanted to be a person who is part of the church and not just someone sitting in the pews singing songs, praying, and listening to sermons every Sabbath.
The next month, the Lord answered both requests – that He would help me to be a blessing to someone, and that I wanted to be a person who is part of the church and not just someone sitting in the pews every Sabbath – in ways that I did not even expect for Him to answer them.
Sincerely,
Samuel Reid
